註釋Analyzes writings - prose, essays, and poetry - of Henryk Grynberg, whose literary work deals with various aspects of the Holocaust and its consequences on survivors' lives. Surveys various motifs in his work, including conviction about the uniqeness of the Holocaust and opposition to its universalization, and his views on social mechanisms which led to the Holocaust, e.g. deep contempt and hatred of the Jews throughout history, the sources of which are found in Christian anti-Judaism. Grynberg's writings deal also with post-Holocaust dilemmas of survivors concerning identity and assimilation. Discusses language dilemmas in writing about the Holocaust, including how to cope with the inexpressible. Grynberg does not negate the possibility of communicating only part of the Holocaust's truth. Concludes that, according to Grynberg, the truth about the Holocaust and the necessity of writing about the uneasy past can help to improve relations between Poles and Jews.
